This video is absolutely adorable. In my latest issue of "The Joys of Being a Parent," a 3 year old boy has gone fishing with his dad, and catches his first fish.
The description below is not on the video, but on the Parent's YouTube page. The boys' dad describes the day he took his son out for an adventure, and quickly wanted to be friends with a cute little fish:
My 3 year old son has always loved adventures and has watched videos and clips with people catching fish however, he had never been on a fishing trip until now. Teddy loves all kinds of fish whether they be salmon, large mouth bass, small mouth bass, catfish, goldfish, pike, trout and many others.
On this day while he had his fishing rod in the water a fish bit the fishing line without him knowing and when he pulled up on the fishing line the fish came flying out of the water and scared him.
After this exciting first catch, mommy and daddy just might take three year old Teddy on a fresh water boat charter or trip on another beautiful lake somewhere in Canada or United States. Maybe his second fish will be bigger than this fish.
This is a very funny, cute, adorable you tube video of a 3 year old boy catching his first fish with his dad.
In what seems to be Hollywood running out of creative ideas, NBC has decided to bring back "The Fear Factor." But it's not exactly a bad idea, I think. Who doesn't want to see contestants eating animal guts and doing challenges you would never think of doing? I mean, it's not "here I'll give you $50,000 if you can swim 20 laps in an olympic-sized pool in under 5 minutes." Are you kidding me? That's not a challenge. "How about you swim 20 laps across the Amazon River in under 15 minutes?" LMAO, that was hilarious, but that's what it amounts to.
After a five year absence, they are bringing the show back to an encore of good reviews. And you can't help to think what challenges they'll have in store. Maybe they'll bring back host, Joe Rogan. He was great. This is reality television at it's best, because each episode is self-contained. This means you won't have to DVR, and watch the previous week's episode because you missed something.
Babe, Ryan? Please get the DVR ready.
Watch a girl receive a terrible hair-cut on an episode of The Fear Factor after the jump.
Hey, I don't see too much of a difference, do you?
Well a baby mask is all you need. Seriously? These baby masks are so damn creepy it will give you nightmares for days, weeks, months or years. Hell, I know I would be traumatized for life. I thought the movies from the 70's, "It's Alive" and "It Lives Again" were scary as shit, but this cuts the cake.
If interested, you can buy these beauties at www.hyperflesh.com. Check out the video after the jump. It features a couple, and their child wearing these terrible creations as they walk through the streets of Denver, terrifying onlookers at every turn.
See the creepy video.
LMAO - isn't this chart the truth! How many times have you found yourself searching for stuff, and can't seem to find what you're looking for?
I especially love "8, 9, 10...", Gotta love it!
In February, I showed you a light bulb shattered into a million pieces, in the slowest motion photography you've ever seen. Last month, I featured Jello jiggling in a way you never thought possible, and on May 18, we witnessed a 6 foot water balloon burst into a tidal wave of laughter and amazement.
In what I think is pure genius, you'll see some retro products in three separate television commercials, courtesy of French company, Citroën, the first mass-producing auto company outside of the United States. Director, Jonathan Gurvit has taken the concept of slow-motion photography to a whole new level, by introducing us to Citroën, and their Anti-Retro campaign.
In the videos below, you'll notice some "Retro" products from the past, like Telephones, Blenders and TV Sets. Each of the commercials uses slow-motion digital photography to capture the ultimate destruction of these products, in very creative, and unimaginable ways.
Enjoy!
If you haven't seen it already, Rise of The Planet of the Apes has released their second full-length trailer, and in it we learn more about James Franco's role as the scientist who befriends Caesar (the one who starts the uprising).
I hope they find a better way of explaining how a few hundred apes or possibly more, are able to wipeout the earth's population, including the city they're residing in, San Francisco.
What!?! You've got to be kidding me! Avril is more popular than Britney? Go Figure, this is all Britney Spears needs - the world knowing that more people like her worst enemy, Avril Lavigne on Facebook than her.
Avril recently trounced Britney on Facebook with over 20 million fans compared to her measly 11 million. That's almost double the fans. You'd think that after all the hoopla over Britney, she'd be more popular.
I mean if it makes her feel better, she can look at it this way... Eminem passes up Lady Gaga by a couple million fans. Of course, if you combine all the social networking services, which includes Twitter, Gaga is queen supreme. Here is the recent list from June 1, 2011.

Whatever happened to Mia Michaels? Was she fired? Was she let go?
Actually, these are the many questions people have been asking me recently. At least the fans, and my friends who love So You Think You Can Dance.
According to E online, before you start thinking there was some huge drama backstage or in the dressing room, Mia left at her own accord. Looking upon the years ahead, she will be starring in her own Bravo reality show, writing a book, and is currently developing a Broadway show. As people in this industry know, we all have dreams we wish to fulfill, and I'm sure others will agree.
"Last year when I was sitting on the [judges] panel, I knew it wasn't the right fit because I felt too glossy sitting on the panel," she exclusively tells us. "People were so focused on what I wore and my hair. I wanted to get dirty and back to the work. I am an artist and I'm a visionary. I need to paint my world now and not be constantly linked to So You think You Can Dance."
Not that she doesn't appreciate what SYTYCD has done for her. "It's been a great platform," Michaels says. "It was a wonderful platform. I'm staring at [my] two Emmys right now. It was an amazing, amazing thing for me but I feel like I have to fly. I have to now focus on Mia's world."
Personally, I didn't think she fit at the judge's table - I'll be the first to admit it.
If you know Mia, or get to know her, she's a very talented and active artist; Sitting down was not her forte, and everyone knew that. Hell, I read about it in the morning papers, and online blog sites. Before the interview was finished, she did manage to say this, "I heard they're bringing Mary Murphy back and I'm really happy for her," Michaels says. "I've sat in that chair, but I feel like that was Mary's chair."
And it's true, it did feel odd without Mary Murphy there; I constantly brought it up, and so did the rest of the world. Who knows? Maybe she'll choreograph a dance routine this season, and we'll get to see her creative talent once again.
If not... we wish you luck, Mia. Good Luck, and God Bless you and your endeavours - you'll truly be missed.
If you wanted proof that there's stupid people in the world, just look at this stupid bitch. OMG, I'm sorry, but why won't they learn their lesson. Seriously, the damn shark could have easily jumped up and munched on this woman whole. What a HOT MESS!
LOL, why is it that it takes me almost a month to post an issue of, "Foods That Make You Cringe"? I think it's because the food is either disgusting or too scrumptious for me to post each week.

In my third issue of, "The Joys of Being a Parent," this kid feels it's in his best interest to share his message to the world. He just finished learning how to ride a bike, when his dad asks him if he has any words of wisdom for all the other kids learning how to ride a bike. The result is an astounding message that would put Lady Gaga's speeches to shame. LOL.
It was during a dance routine by Billy and Kaitlyn on So You Think You Can Dance, that introduced us to Christina Perri's hit song, Jar of Hearts. The moment I heard it, I loved it.
I've experienced so much of what the song is trying to convey. I dated guys who were with me for only 2 or 3 months, then they'd leave. It was heart breaking. Furthermore, you'd see them with someone else a week or so later, crushing your heart even further. Then, they'd leave them too. These guys were just collecting their "jar of hearts," because unbeknownst to them, they were breaking people's hearts without a care in the world. I thank God everyday for giving me Ryan, who's been with me for 6 years!
This is only my third issue of the series, because of the amount of time it takes me to put this together. The premise behind "Cover Wars" is to get your opinion on who you think is the "best of the best" when a YouTube artist performs a cover to a popular hit, like Adele's current song, "Rolling in the Deep" or Madonna's, "Like A Prayer".
This week's battle has an unprecedented 16 contenders. I literally went through several hundred covers of Perri's song, to find the ones I wanted competing against each other. I chose 36 covers, and out of those 36, I siphoned out 20. It is now up to you to decide which of these 16 wins the battle. Out of all these, one of them made me shed a tear, can you guess which one that was?
I have listed each of the contestants in the playlist from 1-16, starting with the current reigning champ, Sam Tsui, and his cover of Jar of Hearts.
01. Sam Tsui
02. Maddi Jane
03. Quanah
04. Kait Weston feat. Tyler Ward on Guitar
05. Matt Beilis
06. Sara Neimietz
07. Kris Cunningham feat. Sophie Lowe
08. Tiago Braga
09. Ebony & Anth
10. Step aka Fonzy91
11. Alex G. feat. Jeff Hendrick on Guitar
12. Umberto aka emotionsinfluences
13. Brandon Skeie
14. Omar
15. Kevin
16. Ben Chambers
Jigsaw has nothing on this guy. What Jigsaw creates in his movies is chicken poop to what Jeorg Sprave creates in reality. Seriously, only an insane person would spend the time and effort to create a contraption capable of slicing your head open? Okay, so maybe he's not insane, he is a good bloke it seems like.
Nope, he's insane, and if shooting circular sawblades is not your cup of tea, he's also created a slingshot for those of you who wish to hunt vampires.
I don't know about you, but I nominate Jeorg as the next contestant on Survivor (The SAW edition).
Yesterday, as you may recall, I made a promise to myself that I would never text while driving again.
As I got into my car, and drove out of the parking garage at work, I received a Facebook message alert on my phone. I immediately picked it up, and by force of habit started to reply, while at the same time looking down, looking up, "making sure" I didn't pass a stop sign, and run over a pedestrian. At that time, a lightbulb clicked in my head, and I remembered, NO MORE TEXTING. "But it's Facebook, I'm not texting anyone," I told myself, as I continued towards a stoplight.
Without hesitation, I immediately, and purposefully threw my phone the furthest away from me that I could - onto the other side of my passenger side seat (where I knew I couldn't reach it). I assured myself, that I wasn't going to risk my life or the lives of others any longer. I made a promise to myself, and to the world yesterday, And I was not going to break this promise.
In a few months, my sister Victoria, will be giving birth to her firstborn child - Ryan and I will become uncles for the first time, and there is no way in hell I'm going to risk losing each other's lives, because I played with a piece of technology. I think I can last 30 minutes to an hour without a phone, it will not kill me, but driving with it will.
At 6:30 PM today will be one whole day since I've stuck with my promise, and I will continue to do so, so long as I live.
If there is one video you should watch, this one's it - it's chilling, it will make you cry, and it will affect you in more ways than one. Please watch it.
Want to know where Sookie ended up? Want to know who told her, "Sookie, you are mine" at the end of Season 3? And.......
Want to see who makes a surprising return with their very own Fairy Godmother?
Then, you'll want to see this.
HBO has released the first 3 minutes of their True Blood Season 4 premiere, and it's going to be ridiculously incredible! I cannot wait for the full episode to air on June 26th!
As you may know, at the end of season 3, Sookie was swooshed away by her Fairy Godmother... well, she ends up in fairyland, where everyone is chomping on some fruit that light's up like a Glo-worm. Funny thing is, it seems like everyone that eats the fruit, loses their memories, at least for the time-being.
Next, in what is the most memorable moment for me, Barry the bellboy makes a grand return, and with a Fairy Godmother whos' f*ckn hot, to say the least! Of course, it wouldn't be HBO without the fairies :-) No pun intended.
If you've read the books, or know a little about True Blood, Sookie and Bill's relationship hits a snag, so you know this season is going to be about who catches the fairy's affection. In this 30 second trailer below, you'll find out who said the line, "Sookie, you are mine," at the end of season 3. Was it Alcide, Eric, or Bill?
